“Holy T7 Polymerase, Batman!”: R&D Considerations For More Awe-Inspiring xRNAIt goes without saying we have some pretty ambitious therapeutic goals for linear mRNA and next-gen saRNA and circRNA. However, as my conversation with Koeris explored, we still have a lot of scientific and technical work/innovation ahead of us to make our RNA products “stronger” (in more ways than one).

The Expanding Patent Landscape For RNA-Based TherapeuticsThe COVID-19 pandemic thrust RNA-based therapeutics into the spotlight. Before that, only a handful had received regulatory approval. Why are RNA-based therapeutics seeing more patent activity now and how should biotech companies mitigate patent risks? Attorneys from Neal Gerber Eisenberg share their insights.
SUPPLY CHAIN VIDEOS
In this Advancing RNA Live clip, Khaled Yamout and Sanofi’s Francoise Ribes share the quality considerations that are top of mind when evaluating a novel raw material, as well as how the broader industry (i.e., standard setting organizations, suppliers, and biotechs) can arrive at a clearer understanding of a material’s quality.
In this Bioprocess Online Live panel, we discuss the current state of the mRNA supply chain for critical raw materials and manufacturing supplies and where pain points still exist.
Three experts in cold chain management walk through the advantages of end-to-end platforms for bulk drug substance management.
In this opening Advancing RNA Live clip, NanoVation Therapeutics’ Dominik Witzigmann and Stealth Co’s John Zuris share the scientific advancements they’ve been watching most keenly in the LNP space, as well as some of the evolutions they’re seeing in the overall quality of our RNA-LNP products.
